PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 16 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
Planning for Electrical Work
You will need to have a licensed, certified Electrician available at some point during the installation.
Notify your Electrician in advance so that they come prepared with appropriate wiring for
connecting the Power Unit to the power source, through a Power Disconnect Switch, and are
prepared to wire the Junction Box, and Solenoid. Refer to Contact an Electrician for more
information.
NOTICE Power wiring to the Lift as well as the Disconnect Switch itself must be provided by
the Electrician; it is not supplied with the Lift.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician. Verify all electrical
work conforms to all applicable local and federal codes, rules, and regulations, such
as state and federal OSHA regulations and electrical codes.
The Electrician needs to:
• Connect a 220 VAC power source to the Power Disconnect Switch and to the Junction Box.
• Connect the Junction Box Wiring. The Junction Box is the connection point for the controls,
the Solenoid, Power, and Relays for the Lift.
Select a Location
When selecting the location for your Lift, consider:
• Architectural plans. Consult the architectural plans for your desired installation location. Verify
no conflicts exist between what you want to do and what the architectural plans detail.
• Available space. Verify there is enough space for the Lift: front, back, sides, and above. Refer to
Checking Clearances below and Specifications for measurements.
• Overhead obstructions. Check for overhead obstructions such as building supports, heaters,
electrical lines, low ceilings, hanging lights, and so on. You do not want your Vehicles
hitting obstructions.
• Power. You need access to a 220 VAC single phase power source for the Power Unit.
• Outdoor installations. PL-6000DC Lifts are not designed to be installed outdoors. Outdoor
installation is prohibited.
• Shimming. If your Concrete floor is not level, you can use Shims under the bases of the Posts, to
level the Lift. To estimate your Shim requirements, use a transit level and targets to check for
flatness. Use the Shims if necessary.
Important: Do not shim a Post more than half an inch.
• Floor. Only install the Lift on a level, concrete floor; do not install on asphalt or any other surface.
The Concrete floor where you install your Lift must meet the following requirements:
6 in. (150 mm) thick, steel reinforced with a compressive strength of 4,350 psi and cured for a
minimum of 28 Days.
The Pre-Existing Concrete Floor must be test drilled to determine the actual thickness of the
Concrete at the location you wish to install the lift.
The floor must be a flat, and level; do not install the Lift on a surface with a slope of
more than 1% (0.57°).
